Surely this means they'll be at Musicfest NW in Portland on 9/19 ... right?

They were one of the highlights of the 2008 festival.

this tour seems like it would be a real drain on local econimies... shouldn't they maybe not go out on the road and leave the townsfolk of whatever cities they play to spend their meager earnings improving infrastructure and providing health-care for kids and going to see that shitty looking Orphan movie?
